You don’t question Providence. If you can’t have the reality, a dream is just as good.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.

I feel that the majority of people should decide for themselves what kind of government they want.

Perfect love drives out fear

Susan is just great. I know I'm biased, but she's a great actress.
